My stone split in two the other day after 12 years, I was depressed for a while after that.

Upgrade to a steel, they get hotter, aren’t brittle, and make even better pizza and bread.

And easier to scrape clean if needed.

You Don't wash a pizza stone.

Terrific.

Go to a pizzeria, look for the big metal brush, tell them they’re doing it wrong.

I didn’t say wash. I said scrape clean.

mimdrs t1_ixiky74 wrote

I mean, if they have even a half decent stone.....you should not be using a brush lol

Like of course remove free standing debris.... but scraping ? What kinda cheap ass place uses a stone that has cheese stick lol. Fucking armaturish really.

I just did this after my chicken pot pies leaked butter all over my pizza stone. Yeah, dough wasn't cold enough.

kinezumi89 t1_ixa6q8f wrote

But they don't absorb moisture - one of the benefits of a ceramic pizza stone is the stone absorbs excess moisture so the crust turns out more crunchy

IsDinosaur t1_ixaave5 wrote

Have you tried a steel?

I get better crispy bases from steel than stone.

Don’t think a stone can absorb water at oven temperatures, either material transfers heat and turns moisture to steam.

Winston_Orwell t1_ix7g09q wrote

Among all the joke replies, I’d love to know how you ‘clean’ it. Mine are starting to get a little mucky with burnt-on cheese. Obviously a regular dose of high temperatures do a lot, but do you scour with a wire brush or similar?

alohadave t1_ix7z1tx wrote

You should be rinsing with hot water and scraping all the gunk off with a plastic scraper. No soap, and wait until the stone is fully cooled.

What you really need to do is cook fatty things on it to season the stone. Biscuits, rolls, cookies, things like that. The fat will coat the surface and build up a coat of non-stick seasoning.

You can also lightly spray Pam or other cooking spray every time you cook with it. It'll make foods slide right off, and getting charred cheese off becomes trivial.

davesoverhere t1_ix843sj wrote

After cleaning, wait until it is thoroughly dry before using and always put a stone into a cold oven. Personally, I always leave mine in and only take it out for cleaning.

irishkiddo t1_ix87ksl wrote

Don't see this answer yet. Run a self cleaning cycle on your oven with the pizza stone left inside. The stone will come out perfectly clean. The oven burns everything off of the stone

SailorET t1_ix7jky8 wrote

I use a plastic scraper on mine, it's great for the baked-on cheese and sauce.

ERRORMONSTER t1_ix95iqb wrote

I used to use a clean (never-been-soaped) sponge and hot water, but I recently found out I should be using a metal wire brush and no water, so I'll let you know how that goes after a few months.

You actually want your stone to get a little food dirty. That's the whole point of using a stone. If you want it to get clean clean, then you're better off using a steel plate or something instead.

Thaccus t1_ix7xz05 wrote

Yooo, pizza dough is one of the easiest types of bread my guy. Takes like 10 minutes of work putting stuff in a bowl and you are fucking DONE. Don't knead shit, just wait. I roll that dough straight on the stone and add sauce and cheese. 450 for 20 minutes and its good. You can even make the dough and leave that shit in the fridge for like a week. Imagine coming home and being like "sauce, cheese, oven, beer while I wait, pizza for the fam"

Give that stone a try my dude, it's super hard hard to fuck this up. I once totally fumbled things trying to move stuff from a steel to a stone and it was just absolutely ruined structurally. Thing looked like a wadded up shirt all folded over itself and scrunched up. I was all kinds of sad and then somebody told me to cook it anyway and it will be fine. Still fucking delicious. I am an absolute BAFOON in the kitchen and delivery/premades ain't got shit on homemade pizza.

mokomi t1_ix85ana wrote

I have to agree. Honestly, I forget that the dough continues to work itself after you mix everything together. There are a few youtubers that has shown their experiments. Going too far as no yeast, no sugar, etc. I know Adam Ragusea has a series that goes through a lot of different checkboxes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4ABOKdHEUs

I thought this was a sphere, and was trying to figure out what the fuuuck this was for. I figured maybe rolling the dough? Then I realized it's flat and I'm just used to assuming things that look like this are round (planets, etc.)

Songhunter t1_ix7prxs wrote

Wait... Is a pizza stone a real thing? Are there any other assorted of culinary masonry I'm unaware of? Like a croissant rock or a crumpet throne?

soulstorm_paradox t1_ix7sr1r wrote

Absolutely. Gives you some of the benefits of a brick oven, since it’s a large solid piece of material that transfers heat quite well.

5

mokomi t1_ix85k56 wrote

I do want to add on to that. A pizza stone and a pizza steel are both real things. With advantages and disadvantages. I have both. Using the stone if I'm making a single pizza and just use the stone as the "serving plate". A pizza steel hold the heat much better than a stone would. Making it better for multiple pizzas and not something you want to serve with.

upvotealready t1_ix8h7kc wrote

The real benefit to using a pizza stone is it doesn't burn anything. It has to do with the porous nature of the stone. Retains heat and distributes it evenly.

The top of a pizza/cookie/tender/fry will burn before the side touching the stone does.

Warmstar219 t1_ix922iu wrote

It's very real and very good. Other culinary masonry: marble rolling pin, mortar & pestle, and the cooking brick. Let's not get into rock shrimp, though.

I’d say that doesn’t look like the moon, it looks like a much cooler version of the moon an an alien planet.

I believe our moon used to have volcanoes, that looks like a moon that’s actively erupting. Awesome pic!

"Never seen anybody so in love like Cosmo back then! He’d stand outside the house all day and look in the windows. I never told you this cause it’s not really a story. But one time I woke up in the middle of the night cause this bright Light was in my face. Like a flashlight. I couldn’t think a what it was. I looked out the window, and it was the moon! Big as a house! I never seen the moon so big before or since. I was almost scared, like it was gonna crush the house. And I looked down, and standing there in the street was Cosmo, looking up at the windows. This is the funny part. I got mad at you, Cosmo! I thought you brought this big moon over to my house cause you were so in love and woke me up with it. I was half asleep I guess" - Moonstruck 1987

Here is a hint for a better "cured" stone... Rub a light coating of pure peanut oil on all sides of the stone... and then wipe as much oil off as you can and then put stone in a 210 deg F oven for a couple hours... do this few times , and - as you use it it will develop a nice carbon nonstick coating.

Mind the gum line. The top layer of the dough where the watery tomato sauce comes in contact tends to not cook as evenly as the rest of the dough causing a uncooked area which can be avoided by spreading a thin layer of insulating olive oil on dough before spreading the tomato sauce. Your welcome.
